Here is what they put on my report.
" Driveability Concern:
Clutch is making a loud squeaking noise. Pin-pointed noise to Slave Cylinder. Greased clutch slave cylinder and abnormal noise is not heard."
About 200-300 yards after driving off the lot I started to feel a physical "crunching" feeling when pushing the clutch all the way in. The squeaking noise came back in full force and it is actually more audible now. I'm dropping it off again this Friday.
This is my first full-time standard transmission daily driver. I don't think I "ride the clutch" either. So I can't see it being my fault with only 17,400 miles on it. Is it a whole day job for them to check the throwout bearing?

Update 1: I dropped my car off this morning and spoke with the mechanic who will be working on it. I told him about the throwout bearing issue that some people have and he said it can't be that because the noise is happening when the engine is turned off. I don't know the fine details on how those parts work so I don't know how true that is. He mentioned that someone else brought theirs in earlier this week with the same issue. He said that there is most likely some rust build up in the slave cylinder that needs to be greased. I'll post an update when I get my car back.
